Gerard Bertrand Orange Gold 2023

Gérard Bertrand Orange Gold 2023 is a captivating and innovative organic wine that beautifully pays tribute to the ancient Georgian tradition of orange winemaking while expressing the sun-drenched terroir of the South of France. Crafted using a unique ancestral technique, a harmonious blend of Mediterranean white grapes—including Chardonnay, Grenache Blanc, Viognier, Marsanne, Mauzac, and Muscat—is fermented in whole bunches with their skins and stalks. This extended maceration yields a striking amber-orange hue with golden reflections and imparts a remarkable, delicate tannic structure. The bouquet is complex and highly aromatic, bursting with vibrant notes of white flowers, candied stone fruits, peach fuzz, and a distinct touch of white pepper. On the palate, it is flattering, generous, and perfectly balanced, showcasing a luscious, almost viscous texture paired with a refreshing, saline minerality. The tasting concludes with a long, satisfying finish accented by a delicate, thirst-quenching bitterness.

Food Pairing: Pairs beautifully with aromatic Moroccan tagines, gently spiced Indian curries, roast duck à l'orange, pan-seared scallops, or a selection of aged hard cheeses.
